翻譯：
史密斯太太擁有一家餐廳，有一天，二個廚師中的其中一人沒有原因就離開。史密斯太太很焦急且擔心，因為隔天是星期六，屆時餐廳會很忙，因此當晚她打電話給友人，但是沒有人能伸出援手。
星期六，很多人來餐廳吃午餐。唯一的廚師變得很忙，所以他無法忍受，也想要離開。幸運的是，其中一位服務生法蘭克告訴史密斯太太說他可以到廚房幫忙。當天來餐廳吃午餐的人都很喜歡法蘭克做的菜。史密斯太太很開心，並讓法蘭克成為餐廳的新廚師。
解析：
16. 本題應選(B) because
(A) 當時 (B) 因為 (C)如果 (D) 是否
* 史密斯太太感到焦慮且擔心，原因是第二天是星期六，餐廳通常生意很好。二句中的前半是果後半是因，是很明顯的因果關係，所以填入(B) because。
17. 本題應選(C)
* 理由：空格前是主詞 the restaurant，空格應是動詞，本文談論過去的事，動詞應選過去式，(B)、(D)分別是現在與未來而排除。第二天是星期六，就當時而言是過去的未來，(A)也不適當，所以選(C)would be。
18. 本題應選(D) that
* 理由：注意句型 S1 + be + so + adj + that + S2 + V. …是固定用法，表示「如此……以致於……」。
19. 本題應選(A) Luckily
* 空格之後是逗點，表示格中應填入副詞，(C)Next、(D)Finally是表示時間順序的副詞，與此題無關。(B)However是表示轉折前一句情境時使用的，也不宜。前一句提到唯一的廚師受不了想要離開，恰巧服務生法蘭克可以幫忙，對史密斯太太來說太幸運了，所以(A)Luckily 是個恰當的答案。
20. 本題應選(B) enjoyed
* 本句的主詞是people，而後接的who had lunch in the restaurant that day是關係子句限定先行詞people，所以空格應該是本句的動詞，所有談論過去事物的動詞都應該是過去式，所以(B)enjoyed是正確的答案。

本題應選(C)
* 說明：有No出現在標語上，表示「禁止」的意思，也就是不可以做此事，故選 (C) You shouldn’t throw waste here.
